Bike Fuel Pumps

I have a set of Zx6r carbs,
Assumed logic is a matching fuel pump but they are selling for silly money on ebay.

Any other models and makes that can be picked up cheaper that would work just as well?

Most carbed ones will be suitable

Are they generally a 8mm exit pipe.
Just tyring to decide to run a flexy or solid pipe from fuel pump to carbs.

will i need the dedicated fuel pump relay from the bike or my generic on that came with my wiring harness( hoping the latter)

Any relay will do mate but i didnt use one with mine.
I just used a fused supply to the pump.
All bike pumps that i have used are an 8mm outlet.

I didn't use a relay either. I don't think they draw much current.

No relay on mine either just a fused feed, the majority of carbed bike pumps are made by Mitsubishi and are intruptor pumps. that is they sense back pressure from the carb float needle and shut down there by preventing flooding.
